Description
The Old Vicarage is a handsome Grade II listed Victorian property which in recent years has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and improvement, to create a stunning family home combining original charm and character with contemporary styling. Planning permission also exists to replace or renovate the garage for additional ancillary accommodation and also to erect an extra garage.
There is a wonderful first impression on arrival with the main front door opening on to the hallway with doors leading to the three generous reception rooms. The more formal drawing room and sitting room, both with feature fireplace interconnect providing excellent space for entertaining.
The third reception room is ideal as a study for home working. The spacious open plan kitchen suits a modern day family lifestyle with areas included for both dining and relaxation. The kitchen area is fitted with an extensive range of bespoke units with granite worktops and central island with Siemens built-in appliances including twin ovens, induction hob, extractor fan, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler. There is also a fireplace with a wood burner.
Leading off the kitchen is the contemporary garden room/conservatory with bi-folding doors on to the idyllic side courtyard and a door to the front as a secondary entrance. There is also a door to the utility/boot room.
A useful cellar for wine storage etc is accessed via a door under the main staircase.
A particular feature is the orientation of the house meaning all principal rooms face south including the four double bedrooms which all overlook the rear garden. These are served by a spacious contemporary family bathroom and similarly well appointed shower room and night cloakroom.
The overall plot of about 3 acres provides areas of beautifully planted formal gardens and paddocks separated by a fenced public footpath. The walled front garden behind a five bar gate provides plenty of parking and turning space with the landscaped rear garden having extensive areas of lawn with inset flower beds and borders, plus a kitchen garden with raised beds, and also a pretty brick ‘folly’.
Gates lead to the post and railed paddock which together with the stables (in need of some repair) will appeal to the equestrian enthusiast.
Between the garden room and detached garage is an idyllic courtyard ideal for al fresco entertaining and relaxation. The good sized detached garage has planning permission granted in May 2020 for demolition or renovation and erection of a building to form ancillary accommodation. Aylesbury Vale District Council Ref: 20/01446/APP with further permission granted for the erection of a replacement detached garage in the left hand corner facing the house Ref: 20/01430/APP.
Note: An electric car charging point has been installed.
